Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS)

CAPS Rating:
**

The Company owns and operates The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino and The Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the Sands Macao Casino in Macau, China.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

LVS is more than just a casino operation. Adelson understands from his background in creating COMDEX that it is the convention business that draws in the upper income clientele that drives hotel occupancy, food and beverage, entertainment consumption, and of course the big money in the casino.

Las Vegas will die a slow death.

In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
